MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM:
Jorge L. Vera, Assitant City Manager/Service
DATE:
10/15/2009
RE:
Amendment to Noise Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance amending the noise ordinance.
REASONS:
Staff has received numerous complaints due to noise issues generating from mechanical
equipment that is installed in new and existing buildings. Upon review of Chapter 193 of
the City Code staff noted that certain mechanical equipment within buildings had not
been clearly spelled out in the Code.
This amendment to Chapter 193 includes a definition for different types of mechanical
equipment that generate excessive noise which creates a nuisance to adjoining properties
and property owners. It also prohibits any mechanical equipment from being in operation
if they exceed the required 60 decibel currently in the Code. Additionally, we have
changed the hours of operation for routine landscaping and yard maintenance. The hours
of operation are Monday - Friday 7:30 am to 8:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 8:00 pm.
